In the 460S&W, I've tried Longshot with 200gr FTXs, but I can't find load data for 300gr projectiles. There must be a downside to this combo. Anyone tried it and willing to provide suggestions for a starting load? H110 is my go-to powder; mostly, I'm just curious.

You can use Longshoot but as you surmised it is a poor choice and will not produce much velocity.

Would suggest 4227, 1680, Lil'gun as well as H110 as better choices.

For reduced loads?

Speer #14 lists Power Pistol with their 300gr UCSP (Uni-Core Soft Point) bullets. They start at 18.0gr & go to 20.0gr max.

Power Pistol & Longshot are very close in burn rate. I've used both in reduced 460 loads, 255gr & lighter, but never tried them with a 300gr bullet.

I'd suggest starting at 15.0gr, if you're looking for reduced loads with it, & work up.

Ive heard this powder called LOUDShot, and after loading it in 45 ACP, 357, 38+P and 9mm ; I know why. Although a great powder which Ive found some super accurate loads for these cartridges, jeezus this powder has a a loud report. Could not imagine the report off a 460 45 ACP with 185 grain and LOUDShot shot so awesome in my Ruger P95 I was sold. until i shot 5 w/o hearing protection (do not have ear plugs when carrying) my ears rang for a day

If you think it is loud in a pistol load............................

Try it in a 12 Ga. 1 1/8 ounce, 3 Dram load and see if the boys and girls in the area, take notice !!

I've read this numerous times, and I use Longshot frequently but never noticed a difference in increased report.
